The history of Bible translations into Danish begins with Christian II's New Testament of 1524. Hans Tavsen published the Pentateuch in 1535. Later translators include Christen Pedersen and Hans Povlsen Resen. The Danish as all the other North Germanic languages were so heavily influenced by the German language, and therefore as a result practically all writings including the Bible were more German than Danish. The uneducated peasants had difficulty understanding the Danish Bible which was practically a direct translation of Martin Luther's Bible. Therefore, as soon as Bishop Hans Povlsen Resen’s translation of 1607 was published, the undertaking of revising the translation began. Still most found it very hard to read and understand, and due to turbulent times of war in Europe there was no so-called official translation or revision until the 1819 New Testament revision during the reign of King Frederik VI. It took another 50 years until the Old Testament 1871 revision by the Danish Bible Society during the reign of King Christian IX. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bible translations into Danish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
